I have an odd problem. I have myq setup with a garage door. I have setup a cover using value template (so i dont need to use pin for google) and expose that to google assistant. I have had this setup for over a year.
In the last few months when I ask google to open / close my garage door it is silent for maybe 10 seconds then says i “Sorry I couldn’t reach the home assistant” But the door does open/close when i ask it to.
I have also switched to non normal config (so it asks me for my pin) and it does the same thing.
So this is more of an annoyance because it still works.
I also have google setup to sync device states.
Cover setup
cover:
- platform: template
covers:
google_garagedoor:
value_template: >-
{% if is_state('cover.garage_door_opener', 'open') %}
open
{% elif is_state('cover.garage_door_opener', 'opening') %}
open
{% else %}
closed
{% endif %}
optimistic: true
open_cover:
service: cover.open_cover
data:
entity_id: cover.garage_door_opener
close_cover:
service: cover.close_cover
data:
entity_id: cover.garage_door_opener
Google entity config section for cover.
google_assistant:
project_id: home-assistant
service_account: !include home-assistant-google.json
report_state: true
expose_by_default: false
secure_devices_pin: "0"
entity_config:
cover.google_garagedoor:
name: 'garage door'
expose: true
room: 'Outside'
Has anyone seen this issue or know a workaround?
